Daily assistance for questions we might have on a lesson or challenge?
Suggestion?: I dont’ know where to put this question, so….
It would be so helpful if there was someone to answer questions on the daily lessons/challenges? For example on the “Listen for the Key”, I know the key for one was (ie) A, but I didn’t know which note on the music notes page was A, so I didn’t know quite where to look for it. And I am still learning to read music, so didn’t follow the notes/song tempo very well. (poss. solution to that one: Maybe put the note name below each picture of a note?) Thanks

@Theedman22 I understand your frustration with trying to understand a concept or learn to identify a note or read tabs etc. It can be difficult. It simply comes with trial and error a lot of times. The answers are provided from what I remember in the lessons, but it’s been a while since I’ve taken FBW. Maybe someone else can chime in on that.
Two thoughts on the matter. The first is to send your suggestion to TAC Support by clicking on the Support button at the bottom left and then click on the Chat button and post your suggestion/question. Victoria will gladly get back to you on it.
The other thought is that TAC has always been a member’s support group, whereas, you can post your questions in the TAC forums and someone should be able to assist you that has taken Fretboard Wizard or another lesson/course too.

Thanks Loraine. I’ll look for that button. And yes, I may go to Support, also, thanks.

I gave up on looking and went with listening. Served me better than I thought it would. I say that to give you confidence to trust your ears. It will get you way further faster than if you rely on your eyes. No doubt it is a process and it took me a long time…still learning actually…but as I look back on comparing sight vs sound method I could only get so far with sight. My music progress rocketed when I gave up on sight and worked off of sound.

Yea, I hear you, man. Thanks. Food for thought. Ears instead of eyes.

I used to just print out the tab and write the notes myself until I got good at reading them.

Hi @theedman22. Memorizing the open string names from low E at the top, E A D G B E (standard tuning), and getting familiar with the notes on a staff using mnemonics could help (you are probably familiar with this). I use Every Good Boy Does Fine all the time!
-
That looks good, Brian. YEa, I’ve seen it, but you’ve made it stand out more. I need to memorize that, and go by sound more, like Moose said. 🙂
(How the heck do you know which lol notes on the trible cleft is a note on the fretboard, ESPECIALLY when you have 6 strings? –> How do I know when to change to another string (note) in relationship to what’s on the treble cleft? Or is that for a totally different conversation? lol)
-
I learned from another instructor, but you should be able to find an image of the notes in the fretboard and learn from there.
The low E on the staff is the 2nd fret in the D string, and all the others on the staff shown are in the first 3 frets going towards the high E string.
There is a good app called Staff Wars that will help learn the notes on the staff. There is a website called MusicTheory.net (and companion app called Tenato) that will help with notes in the fretboard.

You’re awesome man. Will look those two things up today! Thank you for taking the time to help me.
All of you!
